I got the quarter chicken meal with Peri chips, and a side of garlic bread. I selected Lemon & Herb flavor for the chicken, which was nicely moist and slightly zesty. The chips (fries) were also nicely seasoned. While in store I stopped by the sauce bar and tried the new Saka sauce (a limited-edition sauce that was both sweet and mildly hot). The staff were very nice, and the restaurant was clean and had plenty of seating; I also really loved the decor. Will be back to try other flavors. read more

The rice and olives I ordered were perfectly fine. LOVE these olives ... the spices and garlic cloves and oil ... just yummy briny saltiness. It was a great lunch recommendation from a coworker and I have NO problem with the flavor, just a lil miffed about the amount I paid for the limited amount of rice I received. I'm not there YET to just roll over and accept, "it is what is" with the crazy price increases nowadays. *Sigh* As for the service, there were no errors with our multiple order and pickup was seamless and quick. #Grateful Finally, my only specific "complaint" about this particular Nando's Peri-Peri location is MINOR and NO fault of their own. This is just such a congested area and navigating through this plaza is soooo tedious and draining. I absolutely avoid it at all costs during specific times of the day. You absolutely have to be strategic when planning a visit. The flavor of my food would ensure a return visit but the value ... not so much. Looking forward to hearing YOUR opinion. When you visit, tell them you saw it on Yelp. read more

This is my first time going to Nando's and it was so worth it. The food was very good, we got the valentines bundle that was a good deal and brought a lot. The area is great and very quiet inside which is lovely. The service made the experience worth it, the manager was very present and very attentive with the customers if they needed anything. She talked with me at the end of the night, everyone there was helpful with everything. Definitely worth coming back!! read more

Nando's Peri-Peri - Valentine's Day bundle - Chicken Shop Near Me - Lanham, Maryland

Stopped in for an early dinner on a Sunday. I haven't dined at this Nando's since moving to the area. We decided to share the spicy chicken Caesar wrap and 6 wings medium. We decided to try a few of the sauces from the sauce bar (there were 6-8 kinds to choose from) the garlic and the herb. The herb sauce was perfect on top of the medium wings and jazzed them up a bit (Gave them a little kick). The wrap came with two sides since we were sharing we went for fries and mashed potatoes. The potatoes were perfect and the fries were hot and fresh but the seasoning was bland. I liked the wrap but I felt like we needed more chicken and definitely more dressing. The staff at this location was supper friendly they checked on us multiple times, asked us if we needed anything and offered desserts. The restaurant itself was spacious, clean and the decoration added a nice touch! I'll be returning to Nando's after such a positive experience. read more

Unexpected Flavor and Hospitality Just Outside D.C. On a business trip outside of D.C., I asked the hotel staff for something a little different--and they pointed me to Nando's Peri-Peri. I'd never been, but once I stepped inside and read the walls, I realized this wasn't just your typical grilled chicken joint. With roots in Portuguese and South African flavors, the place already had me intrigued. I went with something called the Rainbow Bowl--a vibrant combo of avocado, tomato, cucumbers, onion salad, pickled cauliflower, hummus, super seeds crunch, and feta, all layered over warm Portuguese rice and finished with a lemon herb drizzle. I added a grilled chicken breast to it, and the food came out fast. And wow--super flavorful. Not just heat for the sake of it, but real, layered spice. They had a whole variety of Peri-Peri sauces if you wanted to dial things up a notch, and I took a picture of the options--definitely worth sampling a few if you like to customize your spice level. To drink, I had the Strawberry Rose Lemonade, which was refreshing and just different enough to stand out from the usual soda fountain fare. Now here's where it got pleasantly strange--in the best way. I ordered at the counter expecting a typical fast-casual experience, but then they brought my meal out to the table, restaurant-style. And not just that--multiple staff members came by to check in on me, ask how things were going, and if I needed anything else. A really warm, attentive vibe that I wasn't expecting. The music was chill, the decor had character, and the whole place felt thoughtfully put together. The location itself is in a very walkable area, perfect for strolling into a few shops afterward and walking off the meal. All in all, this place sits in that sweet spot between fast food and sit-down restaurant--quick enough for lunch, but welcoming enough to linger a bit. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and want something bold, flavorful, and just a little bit different. read more

I crave this chicken with their assortment of sauces. The chicken is packed full of flavor and always fresh. The smell of the seasoning is so enticing to me and always draws me in.

Pretty good. They come like once to make sure you're doing ok. The food came out pretty fast so that was a plus.

I decided to try a new menu item, the fully loaded fries. While the taste/flavor was pretty good, it was missing the red onions and possibly also the PERi ranch. My chicken was supposed to be prepared with the medium sauce, and I didn't taste that either. read more

Nando's has very good drinks and food options. Once we got our table, we didn't have to wait long for service to come over, and once we got our order, our food had arrived within 5 minutes. (For 2 people.) The chicken tasted elite! Tables and Chairs are very well cleaned and sanitized. Very well-done Nando's! read more

I visited during lunch time on a weekday and surprisingly it was not crowded. I ordered online and picked up at the front register. I ordered the Thigh & Mighty sandwich which is really delicious. It is a chicken thigh sandwich which compared to chicken breast is naturally more flavorful. It is a very fresh chicken sandwich which comes with fries however I wasn't too thrilled about the fries. Not bad, however not good enough to speak on or offer a comment. The staff member who assisted me in picking up my order was very friendly. I'll visit again. There is ample parking in the adjacent parking lot. Give them a try. read more

The service at this location is top tier! The staff is so friendly always greeting customers with a smile and positive attitudes. The vibe in the restaurant is upbeat and welcoming. The food is hot and fresh which is always a great experience! The chicken is always a win for me, juicy and flavorful, I like mine with no sauce, it's perfect the way it is! The Brussels are good without the sauce to me, I prefer them plain. I am not a fan of the Mac, I prefer a baked Mac and cheese. Go and try this spot, you won't be disappointed! read more

So I ordered a salad this go around and should've just stuck to what I'm use to! The Crispy Chicken Ranch salad... The lettuce wasn't fresh at all! and the cucumbers were wilted and mushy...I couldn't get pass the brown lettuce. I did call the restaurant and the manager on duty asked me to take a picture of the meal and send it to her so she can give me a free/replacement meal my next visit which I appreciated. My husband just drove back to the restaurant and they gave him a fresher salad. Guess he'll have lunch for tomorrow! Hahaaaa!!!! Next time I'm sticking to what I'm use to! Happy Yelping!! read more

For the longest I didn't understand the hype about Nandos. 6 years later I decided to try Nandos again and I freakin loved it . I don't know if it's the fact that I haven't had it in so long or the fact that Nandos stepped up there game up. (Lol) You have options to dine in , carry out or order online and pick up. The prices are to be expected. The location is nice. There wasn't a lot of traffic inside/ it was easy to place my order and the wait time wasn't long. Now let's get into the Meat of this review!! *The Peri Peri wings were cooked well done which I loved. They had a nice flavor and char to them. * The rice was okay. I am not a big fan of there rice but I found when I added some of the Nandi sauce to it I liked the rice a little more. *Grilled Cesar wrap was BOMB.com!!!! Flavor profile was heavenly. The veggies was fresh, the dressing was flavorful and the bread was truly amazing!' All in all I would definitely come Back and try other items on the menu. Great job Nandos read more

Let's be different! Everything here has been well reviewed but their salads. They have two types of salads, PERi Ranch Crunch Salad and Spicy PERi Chicken Kale Caesar Salad. They come with grilled chicken. You have a choice of breast or thigh meat. The chicken is coated with a choice of sauce: lemon & herb, mango & lime, medium, hot, or extra hot. You can have it without added sauce. You can get them without chicken also. So, my wife and I tried both entree salads. 1) PERi Ranch Crunch Salad It had chicken, tomato cucumber & onion salad, feta, crispy chickpeas, and PERi pita croutons served over mixed greens dressed in PERi ranch. We got thigh meat coated with medium sauce. There was 2 whole pieces of boneless thigh. They weren't sliced. That was odd and inconvenient to eat. It was moist and tender with a good grilled and marinade flavor of PERi PERi chilli (sic), onions, garlic, and lemon. PERi PERi (aka piri-piri or African Bird's Eye chile) is a hot pepper that is used as a spice and in pharmaceuticals. With the medium sauce, the chicken was mildly spicy. The vegetables were fresh. The feta was rich, creamy, and slightly tangy. The fried chickpeas were crunchy with a very light chickpea flavor. The pita croutons were crunchy and denser than regular croutons with a hint of pepperiness. The dressing tasted like ranch with chiles added. Overall, it was moderately spicy hot, flavorful, and filling but not heavy. 2) Spicy PERi Chicken Kale Caesar It had chicken, pickled red onion, crispy chickpeas, PERi pita croutons, and shaved parmesan served over mixed greens and kale dressed in PERi Caesar dressing. We got thigh meat with mango & lime sauce. The chicken was the same as above except it wasn't spicy hot. It had a mild mango and lime flavor. The pickled onions had a strong onion flavor, a slight tanginess, and mild chile flavor. There wasn't much parmesan cheese, but what was there was good in a typical way. The mixed greens were fresh and the kale was slightly bitter. The dressing tasted like Caesar with chiles added. It was mildly hot. Overall, this had outstanding flavor for a Caesar Salad. I'm not a fan of Caesar Salad, but this is an exception because it wasn't boring to my taste buds. The service was polite, attentive, and helpful. Our food was ready in 10 minutes which was quick because 3 people had ordered ahead of us. We ordered carryout which may have made a difference since we didn't have to wait for our food to be served. The dining room and restrooms were very clean. They have a hand sink for customers at the back of the dining room. The decor included contemporary South African artwork. The ambiance, service, and food were excellent, so I gladly recommend this restaurant. FYI, with over 1200 restaurants worldwide, Nando's has the largest collection of South African artwork in the world for public display. They have over 28,000 pieces of artwork. read more

Customer service top notch! Y'all, I was heading to Nando's to use my $25 credit that I won at a Yelp event. Caught a flat. Wahhhh. Called them up and they took down my information. When I called in a few days later, they remembered and honored my order right away. Love to see it. I got the chicken breast sandwich-- hot. As you can see, they were not skimpy with the sauce-- my mouth was on fire a little bit. The arugula was a nice touch. Since I love sweet and spicy, I asked for their bbq sauce on the side. Def kicked it up a notch. I enjoyed it! read more

I'm a frequent customer of multiple locations across the Dmv area of Nando's. I usually purchase the large fry and perinaise with anything that i decide to buy. Every location usually accommodates Me when I ask for a second perinaise with my large fries because one cup is too small for that much fries. Today (July 1st at 7:30 pm) I was told that I would have to be charged an extra dollar and six cents for one more cup and it follows a similar trend of other businesses in the region that charge for things that other locations in different areas won't charge for .as a black man I feel like because this is a majority black area these businesses feel like no one will say anything and they can take advantage of us but won't do the same in other wealthier areas they choose to operate business in. read more

Great service. Good food. I would update the high chairs to have a strap in between the child's leg so they can't slide out the bottom.

Absolutely delicious and always fresh! The manager is incredibly kind and accommodating, which makes the experience even better. I love love love Nando's! I know some people mention the wings being on the smaller side, but that honestly doesn't bother me... it just shows they're likely using non-GMO, quality chicken. Highly recommend! read more

I don't know what happened here but this Nando's trip was extraordinary! A young woman met me at the door and politely asked if I was dining in or picking up and offered me a menu. Sounds really simple but it gave me a very polite and professional vibe. While in line another manager checked in on me and after that I guess the head manager offered to take my order. 3 different people in the span of less than 10mins. I ordered my food and it was ready in like 7 minutes! I don't know if it was the service or what but the chicken was absolutely succulent and spicy..best Nando's experience I've had in awhile..Bravo! read more

Stopped by after a relaxing yoga session on Friday night and ordered the 3 chicken thigh meal. When my food arrived, I noticed that the three chicken thighs were the size of chicken nuggets. When I brought it to the attention of the manager, she offered to give me additional nugget sized thighs and was upset that I questioned the size of the chicken. She went on to say that she was doing me a favor by offering additional nugget size thighs, I politely reminded her that she was not doing me a favor, but I was paying for chicken thighs, not nuggets. I am very disappointed in my interaction with the manager. I am further disappointed with the establishment for blatantly, ripping off their customers. When I get home, I noticed that my side of mashed potatoes was only one spoonful pictured below. For $21 this was very disappointing. read more

I love nado perri perri, I have always been fond of their food, music and sauces. I always order food from this location and sometimesf they would forget something and it's always bothering me cuz it takes 15 minutes driving each direction, I normally don't call or bother them but today I had some freinds over and can't have 3 items missing.. I called in and was helped by Zoey who was extremely nice and understanding, she apologized and asked me if i could come in to get the missing items or how do I want it work it out!!, without all the drama. As soon as I walked in with a big smile she said they were sorry for missing some items. Mistakes happen but this location will do their best to correct their error... Thank you Zoey.. read more

I went to this location a couple of years ago and had an awful experience from service to food. I decided to give them another try today and I am so happy I did. The service was wonderful from start to finish. Although it was pretty busy, the woman on the register was so accommodating and attentive. The food was also really good. I had the Peri-Q chicken, mac and cheese and corn on the cob. It also came with a coleslaw that was not that good, but the other food was so good, they still deserve five stars. Also, the honey lavender lemonade was delicious! read more

For my 500th review, I had to write about the latest and greatest addition to the Woodmore Towne Centre. Located in Gorgeous Prince George's, Nando's Peri-Peri has such a cool and fun vibe. The customer service here is PHENOMENAL! Finally, a place of business that has younger employees, but are professionally trained! As soon as I came in, I was greeted with a smile, excitement, politeness, and professionalism. Nando's is known for their flame grilled chicken marinated in Peri Peri - an African Bird's Eye chili. The chicken marinates for 24 hours prior to serving to customers. This particular location is the first Nando's to open in North America in quite a bit of time. So glad they chose Glenarden to be their home. Other than chicken on the menu, they offer various wraps, sandwiches, plenty of sides and sangria. In the past I tried the sangria and it was pretty solid. Since we're still in the pandemic of 2020, the dinning portion of the restaurant is closed, but you can order inside or online NDA carry-out. A greeter is stationed at the front collecting contact information from all patrons. I then moved to the register, with the equally friendly cashier and she asked if I had any questions with my order. I ordered the mango/lime 12 peri-peri wings, the red mashed potatoes and the garlic bread. I've had Nando's a couple times prior to this visit, but I swear this was the BEST I've had. Everything I ordered is a must! The potatoes...delish, the chicken...tasty and that garlic bread is to die for! Since they have different heat levels, make sure you pay attention to the sauces before ordering. After I placed my order, I sat and waited. While waiting, the manager came over to speak to me and directed me to the additional sauces to put on my wings to take home. After I received my piping hot order within 5-7 minutes, the manager and co-manager made sure to thank me, and to tell me to have a nice day and to come again. As a patron, I love to feel like I'm welcomed and appreciated...Nando's did that and more! I will absolutely be a return customer. Since thy have so many options based on their delicious chicken, I can visit and visit and have different options each time. read more

This is the newest location in good ol Woodmore Towne Center. I have been there twice, and each time, I have been greeted at the door, and have had great experience with the workers and managers there. At my first visit, I got the jumbo platter, that comes with two whole chickens and two extra large sides. The second time, I got a full platter which comes with one whole chicken and two large sides, and the peri-peri bowl. Here's what I learned; this location in a bit smaller than the others, so they may not have the same sides as other locations. It is best to check the menu for this specific location, so you won't be disappointed. I believe brussels sprouts incur an up charge as a side. That was a hard hit to my life, cause those little cabbies are thee bomb dot com. Anywho, now to the food. Because I was trying to accommodate a group of folk with different taste buds, it was suggested to me to get a regular chicken with the sauces on the side. This worked, as everyone was able to do what they do. I love the xtra hot sauce; although, the rest of my family hit the low meter for spice. Our first set of sides were salad, potatoes, brussels sprouts and olives. The sides were dope, I am in love with the mashed potatoes, and the brussels sprouts. The salad is crazy fresh, and the olives are on point, those are definitely good for snacking. The peri-peri bowl, has a nice mixture of fresh arugula, roasted red peppers and hummus with rice. I think it is a nice switch if you want to try something other than chicken parts, because I believe this comes with chicken breast tenders of your spice choice. It is a nice portion and is really filling. I will continue to return, the people are nice and the food are good. read more

So I wanted to give a completely honest review of Nando's. Let me start by saying I truly enjoyed my meals from this restaurant and would definitely go back. About a month ago Yelp and Nando's invited the end squad members to pick up a meal and goodie bag from this location in celebration of the holidays. My Wife and I are in the squad so we went to get out for. Hot it home and thoroughly enjoyed it. She posted her review that night but I wanted to wait. Nando's gave us a coupon to come back for by one get one free meal. I wanted to make sure the food was always on point and not just for the elite squad to give good reviews. They did not disappoint. When we came back we both enjoyed our meals just like we did the first time. Consistently is key. The good was great and the customer service was excellent. My Wife ordered the 12 wings with rice and garlic bread. She says it was perfect and she was able to save dinner fire lunch the next day. I ordered the half chicken with peri-peri chips and garlic bread. Everything was great. The manager came by to check on us and we told him great job. The location is clean and everyone is friendly and they move efficiently. We will be going back. We have lived Nando's for years now. We were card caring members back in the day. We stopped recently just because the quality wasn't as good at the location nearest to our house, which sucks because it is about 7-10 minutes away. But I would make the 15-17 minutes to go this one because they were in point both times we went. First when they knew we were coming and second when they didn't. Great job! read more

Exceptional customer service, amazing decor, but the food was just ok. My first experience with Nando's was with my now husband who introduced me to this what I thought was Peruvian food, until yesterday, (it originated from South Africa) very juicy chicken and that delicious halloumi cheese, delicious, 11 years ago, and I loved it! I moved to Laurel and they opened a location at our local town center and we immediately headed over there, still delicious. Then they open one in Arundel Mills, and what a disappointment, man was I upset because I have had three different locations that were great! Sooooo, I headed back to my local Nando's and low and behold, another disappointment, that was 2 years ago and I never went back to another Nando's :-( Fast forward to November 19th we were offered a complete meal complimentary, I was impressed and very thankful for this bounty of food. Soon as you walk in the staff greeted you and asked if you wanted to dine in or take out. Everyone was pretty attentive and willing to help, we were well taken care of. The meal consisted of half lemon herb chicken, mashed potatoes, Brussel sprouts, garlic bread, and this very yummy little dessert called a Naughty Natas (OMG that little thing was sooooo gooood). The chicken had good flavor, but the white meat was very dry and I am not a dark meat person. Mash potatoes were well seasoned and pretty good. Hmmm the Brussel sprouts, not for me. In my opinion, they were too spicy(which was almost too difficult to enjoy) they did not have much seasoning or flavor, which is going to be a hard pass for me. Garlic bread always my favorite and very good. Overall the experience was great the food was ok, I think I will stick with my salad and that yummy grilled halloumi cheese. read more

Had the pleasure of trying out this new location. I was greeted as soon as I walked thru the door. The food was piping hot and delicious. I had chicken with medium spicy sauce, garlic mashed potatoes, and brussel sprouts. Everything was great. I love that they had all different sauces available to take. I added some lemon&herb sauce to the brussel sprouts and i ate them with no problem (not usually a fan). Their menu is pretty extensive. Prior to this visit, it'd been years since I've had Nando's and it didn't disappoint. This location in particular is perfectly situated in an already thriving plaza. Great addition to the neighborhood. read more
